Karine Jean-Pierre Says Busing Illegal Immigrants to Cities Is a ‘Stunt’

‘It’s costing the state of Texas $1.5 million’

TRANSCRIPT:

REPORTER: “Governor Abbott of Texas said today he started sending busloads of migrants to New York in an effort to share responsibility with other states. Does the White House have a reaction to that?”

JEAN-PIERRE: “So, you know, it’s the latest stunt from the Governor. Another stunt of busing desperate migrants across the country. And he’s using them as a political — as a political ploy. I mean, this is what he’s been doing and it’s shameful. And I’ve said this before. I was asked this last week, and it’s costing the state of Texas $1.5 million.”
